The unit is equipped with a high-sensitivity, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver, which locates your position quickly and precisely and maintains its GPS location even in heavy cover and deep canyons. The advantage is clear: whether you're traipsing through thick woods or strolling near tall buildings and trees, you can count on the eTrex Summit HC to help you find your way when you need it the most. At the same time, the Summit HC's easy-to-use menu lets you create and view waypoints (up to 500), save and view 10 track logs, access setup features, and more. It even offers 24 MB of internal memory and a detailed basemap, so you can load waypoints and routes from the included MapSource Trip & Waypoint Manager software and add map detail from Garmin's entire line of optional MapSource mapping products. Besides appreciating its small size, boaters and outdoorsmen will also be happy with the Summit HC's unique button layout, with five buttons located on either side of the unit. The benefits of this design are twofold: First, the Summit HC is a breeze to operate with just one hand, and, second, with the buttons on both sides of the unit, the bulk of the front is dedicated to the 256-color, sunlight-readable TFT display. This makes it easy to distinguish map details regardless of the time of day. The Summit HC also includes a built-in electronic compass that provides bearing information even when you're standing still, along with a barometric altimeter that tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. You can even use the altimeter to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help you keep an eye on changing weather conditions. The Summit HC's basemap, meanwhile, contains lakes, rivers, cities, interstates, national and state highways, railroads, and coastlines--in short, a host of helpful details for your outdoor adventures. Other features include an IPX7 waterproof housing, a built-in patch antenna, a TrackBack feature that lets you reverse your track and navigate back to your starting point, a USB interface, a hunt/fish calendar, and a geocaching mode. The Summit HC, which runs for up to 14 hours on a pair of AA batteries (not included), measures 2.2 by 4.2 by 1.2 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a one-year warranty.

And yes, I have a way of mounting the GPS unit on the dashboard of my gelding. After 4 years hard service, my Garmin Legend quit. Improvements I found in my new Summit are impressive: color, faster satellite acquisition, and map orientation that matches the orientation of the unit. This last is possible only in the Summit which has the electronic compass lacking in other GPS models from Garmin. The commands are more intuitive and it works better in timber. With the new cable and drivers that came with the Summit, I was able to use my old MapSource CD to load contours. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great gps for the money! *by A***6 on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2011* I have always liked garmins but i wanted a new gps that I could put topo maps on so I could truly see where i was and wanted to go without having to carry around a map book. My use of the unit has been for natural resources college classes, work, big game hunting, and for search and rescue. The unit its really easy to setup and use. The map packs are pretty expensive but I got the detailed maps for CO where I live and they are great. The only confusing thing is to mke sure you set the gps datum to the maps you have otherwise it will show you that you are often a few hundred feet from where you actually are but its simple once you figure out the settings. I picked this model for the ability to load maps, the color screen makes it better for viewing multicolored topo maps, and that it has a WAAS enabled reciever. Works great in trees and in bad weather. Very rugged unit. My only recommendation for protection is to get the Invisibleshield screen cover. They dont make a pre cut model so you will have to cut it and apply it yourself but it keeps the screen in great shape I use them on all of my technology with screens. The belt clip is flimsy and the lanyard is cheap. But that is easily fixed with a length of parachute chord. Battery life is good if you keep the backlight use down. I would recommend getting some recharable lithium batteries for it. The reason the product gets 4 stars is that you have to trade the sd card slot for color screen or a bunch of money. I wish it would have had more memory or and sd card slot and the color screen. My other complaint is the screen size. When you put data fields on the screen it makes it a bit to small. Those are the only downfalls I see but its a great unit and I am glad I bought it. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless without $200 worth of maps *by I***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2011* Bought this unit to replace an old Magellan that had been purchased years back with topo maps as part of the deal. Reading the reviews and description of this Garmin eTrex Summit HC lead me to believe that you would be able to use the included "Trip and Waypoint Manager" for hiking. Trust me the included base map is an absolute joke. Yeah it will show an interstate highway but much beyond that is just hype. I called Garmin for support because I thought I just was not understanding how to send the maps to the device. The tech support guy started off by saying that this unit is several years old and not one of their better units. He went on to ask what I intended to do with the device. I explained that we bought it to use for hiking this summer both in the U.S. and in Canada for a six week vacation. Well he says the U.S. topo maps will run you $100 and then another $100 for the Canadian topo maps. He said if only I had bought a better unit that would accept SD cards I could have bought 'slices' of maps for less.Sending this back to Amazon. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fi/products/13223728-garmin-etrex-summit-hc-handheld-gps-receiver](https://www.desertcart.fi/products/13223728-garmin-etrex-summit-hc-handheld-gps-receiver) --- *Product available on Desertcart Finland* *Store origin: FI* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
